Product Description
The contributors to this book tackle an interesting mix of issues from a critique of opposition politics in the context of the economic decline in Africa to an assessment of the efforts made by the opposition to establish an effective presence under extremely difficult circumstances. The book also draws attention to the many internal organizational/leadership problems that have contributed as much to the weakness of the opposition as the machinations of the ruling parties. Ethnicity, religion and regionalism are identified as crucial factors militating against the opposition. Case studies are drawn from Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
